I love how the presence of random saunas in games, even in buildings that don’t have kitchens or toilets (Alan Wake 2, My Summer Car, INFRA) is the signifier of ‘this game is set in Finland’. I wish there was an Australian equivalent

I'm a huge fan of @foddy.net's work, and I'm just so tickled that my first-ever conversation with him was mostly him gushing about how good Super Mario Sunshine (his favorite Mario, and mine) is, why, and how it's informed his work over the years.

An all-time great video game moment. I'll be thinking about this for years. It's right up there with surviving Hell in Spelunky, one-shotting O&S in Dark Souls, and beating @danryckert.com's disgusting Mario Maker creations.

1991 was a year for a big wave of games that finally brought coherent, original audiovisual aesthetics to 16-bit platforms: Another World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Monkey island 2, and Gods. Nobody remembers Gods, partly because the ports are terrible, but it rules.

Given how hard it was to get into GDC sessions this year (indie soapbox, for example, had only roundtable seating and fit less than 100 people out of 25000), it feels cruddy that they no longer give vault access to folks with a conference pass.

What if we had to physically walk the entire time we walked in the game? What if it didn’t end until we reached the mountain? And what if our viewers could help or hinder our progress…? Watch as we stream BABY STEPS to completion on Saturday March 14 at Noon PT. This could suck.

Is there any animator out there who will deny this?
"I don't know why he is in a onesie and has a big ass," shrugs game developer Gabe Cuzzillo.
"Bennett just came in with that at some point."
"I thought it would be cute," replies Bennett Foddy, who was formerly Cuzzillo's professor at New York University's Game Center and is now his collaborator. "Working on character design and animation brings you over to liking big butts. I could give you an enormous amount of evidence for this."
